— AND — THE WORKERS
Better order your supply of the August Life and Health soon. That first edition of 75,000 copies will not last long.
The record of your State is found in the paragraph entitled “Where Liberty for the Second Quarter Went.” See Notices and Appointments department, page 23. Have you seen the new Liberty?
“Our little girl, eleven years old, sold 92 copies of Liberty this morning in one hour and thirty minutes,” writes Brother W. D. Fleming, of Wisconsin, “all in one large office building. . . . You may send 200 copies of Liberty to ——, Wis., and 1,500 to ——, Ill., also 300 Life and Health. ”
The Review and Herald Publishing Association has just made up a supply of leather slip covers for our agents’ guarantee books. These covers prevent the guarantee books getting worn and soiled, and at the same time convert an usually unsightly thing into one of beauty, and also impart in every way a better impression. The cover will be sent to our agents, post-paid, for 30 cents.
Large camp-meeting orders for Life and Health, Liberty, the Protestant Magazine, and the Temperance number of the Youth’s Instructor are already being received from our conference presidents and tract society secretaries. These will be sold in connection with religious liberty and temperance meetings to be held and also to the church officers who will take them home after camp-meeting and sell them to their neighbors and friends.
“Camp-Meeting Sanitation — What to Do and What Not to Do,” is the title of a twelve-page tract just issued by the Review and Herald Publishing Association, upon the urgent request of the General Conference Committee. It contains, in every respect, the best sanitary advice that can be secured on the location of the camp, camp water-supply, camp-meeting food, camp-meeting kitchen, restaurant, store, the dishes, the garbage, danger from flies, the toilets, in fact, everything pertaining to the proper preparation of a camp-ground. Price, 75 cents a hundred, with usual tract society and publishing house discounts.
The bindery of the Review and Herald has been running overtime, and is compelled to continue to do so in order to supply our book workers with the stock they require to fill their orders. Case after case, weighing on an average 250 pounds, are being sent out daily. Though the weather is hot, our bindery employees cheerfully work hard all day and until nine and ten o’clock in the evening getting out waiting orders. In this they feel that they are having some voluntary part in the circulation of the books containing the message they love as devoutly as the canvasser. The books for which the greatest number of orders are made are “Great Controversy,” “Daniel and the Revelation,” “Desire of Ages,” “Bible Readings,” and “Coming King.”
